Dead Inside
(Рингтон) Muse Lyrics

Dead inside!
The singer feels empty and lifeless.

Revere a million prayers
The singer seeks spiritual guidance and hopes to find meaning in religion.

And draw me into your holiness
The singer desires to be taken into a space of purity and sanctity.

But there's nothing there
The artist is disappointed to find that there is no real substance or fulfillment in religion.

Light only shines from those who share
The artist believes that true enlightenment can only be found through connecting with others.

Unleash a million drones
The singer feels trapped and controlled by outside forces and desires freedom.

Confine me then erase me babe
The singer is struggling in a toxic relationship where they feel trapped and powerless.

Do you have no soul?
The artist questions their partner's morality and empathy.

It's like it died long ago
The artist feels that their own sense of morality and vitality has been lost over time.

Your lips feel warm to the touch
The artist is physically attracted to their partner.

You can bring me back to life
The singer believes that their partner has the power to make them feel alive and whole again.

On the outside you're ablaze and alive
To the world, the artist's partner seems vibrant and full of life.

But you're dead inside!
The singer knows that their partner is actually emotionally disconnected and empty.

You're free to touch the sky
The singer's partner has more freedom and control in the relationship.

Whilst I am crushed and pulverized
The singer feels powerless and oppressed in the relationship.

Because you need control
The artist's partner desires power and control over them.

Now I'm the one who's letting go
The artist has finally decided to stop fighting for control and is letting go of the relationship.

You like to give an inch
The singer's partner is only willing to give a small amount of power or control.

Whilst I am giving infinity
The singer is willing to give their all to the relationship.

But now I've got nothing left
The artist feels drained and depleted from giving so much.

You have no cares and I'm bereft
The artist's partner is indifferent to their feelings and the artist is left feeling empty.

Your skin feels warm to caress
The artist is physically attracted to their partner.

I see magic in your eyes
The singer is enchanted by their partner's appearance and demeanor.

Feel me now, hold me please
The artist desires physical and emotional comfort and connection.

I need you to see who I am
The singer wants their partner to truly understand and appreciate them as a person.

Open up to me, stop hiding from me
The singer wants their partner to be honest and vulnerable with them.

It's hurting babe
The singer is in emotional pain and wants their partner to acknowledge it.

Only you can stop the pain
The artist believes that their partner has the power to make them feel better.

Don't leave me out in the cold
The artist is afraid of being abandoned and left alone.

Don't leave me out to die
The singer feels that they would not be able to survive without their partner.

I gave you everything
The singer has committed everything to the relationship.

I can't give you anymore
The artist has reached their limit and is unable to give more to the relationship.

Now I've become just like you
The artist has become emotionally disconnected and empty like their partner.

My lips feel warm to the touch
The artist is physically attractive to others.

My words seem so alive
The singer is skilled at manipulating and deceiving others.

My skin is warm to caress
The artist is physically attractive to others.

I'll control and hypnotize
The singer desires power and control over others.

You've taught me to lie without a trace
The singer's partner has influenced them to become deceitful and manipulative.

And to kill with no remorse
The singer has become emotionally desensitized and is capable of causing harm without feeling guilty.

On the outside I'm the greatest guy
To the world, the artist seems like a good person.

Now I'm dead inside!
Despite their outward appearance, the artist is emotionally empty and disconnected.
